A member asked:
Used to be abounding with energy in the working out 7 times a week. after being on antipsychotics for almost 2 years all my strength has gone. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strength gone: Your history does not say what type antipsychotic you are currently taking. Some people gain weight while taking medications and need to pay extra attention to diet and exercise to control their weight. Other side effects may include a decrease in sexual ability or interest, . If a side effect occurs, the doctor should be told. You should discuss this with your dr.
